You may
have asked yourself "Whatever happened to that guy who writes stories
about creatives overthrowing the machinations of the evil government?"

Or you
may have asked yourself "Whatever became of Chance, Mancy, Faith,
Tannk, Remy and Hope?"

Well,
rest assured, we're all safe and sound, if not sane. A lot has happened
this year, including the fact that Lori and I had our first child, Melody
Hannah Carhart.

But that's
not all that's going on. So read on and be enlightened.

iU
Sci-Fi & Fantasy Community

There are three
new articles out at the
Sci-Fi & Fantasy Community. Bias aside, Lori likes all three articles
so I think you will too. "Sci-Fi Goes Mainstream 2" is the
sequel to an article I wrote (that's still out there) almost two years
ago about the state of science fiction television. The new article brings
things up to date. Hope you enjoy them all.

Create Something

Sci-Fi Goes Mainstream
2: I Don't Think So

The Creative Underground

I've got another
article in progress, but it'll have to wait for another time.

Events

Currently, I don't
have any events scheduled except those that fall into the realm of The
Creative Underground. For more information on that, read on.

The
Creative Underground

Make
sure you tune into my newest endeavor, The Creative Underground: A UCCS
web radio show. I'm the host and I bring it to you every Wednesday night
from 8:00-9:30 pm MST. radio.uccs.edu

So
w hat's it about? Explore and celebrate the creative spirit and the
power of the imagination with science fiction author, musician and award-winning
art director Paul M. Carhart every Wednesday from 8:00 to 9:30 pm. The
Creative Underground features lively interviews with actors, animators,
artists, authors, bands, creative thinkers, designers, musicians, photographers,
poets and writers from The Springs area and beyond.

Topics
will include discussions of past, current and upcoming projects as well
as the the creative process and inspirations. Shows that feature bands
or musicians will be heavilly laced with the artist's music.

Items with
the book cover images on them have now been discontinued, leaving
only the stylish logo items. There is a reason for this shift,
but if I tell you what's going on, I'll have to kill you. That
would be against my religion. New items have been added though
and there should be some more added this summer.

The
Fairlight Novels:
Chance for the Future, Hope
for Tomorrow & Faith in the Past

All three of my
Fairlight novels are still available in their original trade paperback
formats. You can get them almost anywhere. Faith in the Past,
the third in the series, is also available in hardcover. Get
your copies today. They may not always be available.

Upcoming
Projects

So what am I working
on now?

Zooming Through
Life:
Creative Tips for Bringing Sanity To Your On-The-Go Lifestyle
Previously titled Travel Tips For Every Day, my little travel
advice book with a twist is now the foremost project on my plate. If
all goes well, I'll have important news on this book and how you can
get it next time around.

One of the
Girls
My first YA offering is currently in the hands of a capable agent. I'm
praying for acceptance. Your prayers couldn't hurt either. Thanks in
advance.

Chance for
the Future: Special EditionHope for Tomorrow: Special Edition
Faith in the Past: Special Edition
I'm almost finished with a revised edition of CFTF. It is my intention
to publish CFTF in mass-market format, followed by HFT and FITP (with
minor alterations to each). The plan is that each mass-market edition
will also include a short story that has previously not seen print.
CFTF would include "Taking Chances." HFT would include "Riot
Act." FITP would include "Saint Nik."

Angel Guardian:
Noel's Defense
This is the first book in my new series that deals with spiritual warfare
between humans, angels and demons. I haven't made a lot of headway (I'm
on chapter three) but it is also the only piece of fiction I am currently
working on so is therefore rewarding in that aspect.

Untitled Nonfiction
Book
The experiences that Lori and I encountered in having our baby lead
me to some interesting understandings of the medical profession. I'm
sure not everyone will agree with my beliefs or findings, but what I
have discovered has changed the way my family and I deal with doctors
and medicine. More later.

Faith Restored
This series has a soft spot in my heart. How do Chance, Mancy, Faith
and Tannk ultimately conquer the Government? I've plotted this entire
story (and even started writing it). If the mass-market editions of
the original trilogy come to pass, this story will probably soon follow.
